Presidential Talk

Bob Barr, Libertarian presidential candidate - admits the current war on drugs isn't working. Supports the legalization of marijuana.

I just saw him on the Colbert Report talking about it and I plan to find out more info. But wanted to get this posted right away for those of you who may beat me to it.

Yes, he did vote in favor of the Patriot Act, but has rescinded his support when it became clear the Bush Administration planned to, and did, abuse it. Yes, he did vote in support of the Defense of Marriage Act, which I will likely hold against him forever...

Sure, it's Libertarian, so it probably won't amount to a hill of beans, and he likely won't appear on the ballots in many states, but I hope it's good to know there ARE reasonable people out there. (At least semi-reasonable...)
